DHA or docosahexaenoic acid, is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that helps with the development of a baby's brain, nerves and vision2-4.

Essential to consume for moms as a developing fetus cannot efficiently produce their own DHA* They must obtain DHA through the mom's placenta during pregnancy and from an outside source, such as breast milk, after birth5

Supplementation with DHA prior, during and after pregnancy significantly increases the level of DHA available to your fetus and infant*

The March of Dimes® recommends that pregnant women consume at least 200 mg of DHA every day1. As most women do not consume that amount of DHA through diet alone, a good quality Omega-3 DHA helps ensure their daily DHA intake is at least 200 mg during pregnancy and while breastfeeding1,2.
